Emma Thompson hubby 'loves cheap socks'

Emma Thompson, one of Britain's quintessential actress, has criticised her husband for his miserly ways... including his apparent desire to not treat his feet to a nice pair of socks.

Her other half, Greg Wise, spends less than £1 on each pair of socks and has forced his wife to buy better quality socks... providing she colours in the logos with magic markers to ensure that he does not catch on to her legwear cover-up.

She said of his behaviour: "He makes Oliver Cromwell look like Imelda Marcos on a spending spree in the Egyptian bit of Harrod's with Elton John's credit card."

Emma Thompson is one of 33 Brits on the nominations list for the Golden Globes, an awards ceremony seen as the precursor to the Oscars.
